More quotes by Lauren Oliver
An eye for an eye. And the whole world goes blind, Coral puts in quietly.
Lauren Oliver
Lies are just stories, and stories are all that matter. We all tell stories. Some are more truthful than others, maybe, but in the end the only thing that counts is what you can make people believe.

For the first time in a long time, I actually look at her. I've always thought Lena was pretty, but now it occurs to me that at some point - last summer? last year? - she became beautiful.
Lauren Oliver
Sometimes I feel like she deserves a best friend who is just a little more special.
Lauren Oliver
only when it rains. and sometimes, too, when i remember.

Maybe before you die, it's your ghosts you see.

But...books are so much more. Some of them are webs you can feel your way along their threads, but just barely, into strange and dark corners. Some of them are balloons bobbing up through the sky: totally self-contained, and unreachable, but beautiful to watch. And some of them―the best ones―are doors.
Lauren Oliver
I'm used to a feeling of doubleness, of thinking one thing and having to do another, a constant tug-of-war.
Lauren Oliver
This is the past: It drifts, it gathers. If you are not careful, it will bury you.
Lauren Oliver
Po flickered. Thank you? it repeated. What is that? Liesl thought. It means, You were wonderful, she said. It means, I couldn't have done it without you.
Lauren Oliver
Not gray, exactly. Right before the sun rises there's a moment when the whole sky goes this pale nothing color-not really gray but sort of, or sort of white, and I've always really liked it because it reminds me of waiting for something good to happen.
Lauren Oliver
But you can build a future out of anything. A scrap, a flicker. The desire to go forward, slowly, one foot at a time. You can build an airy city out of ruins.
Lauren Oliver
Every choice is limited. That's life.
Lauren Oliver
I just want to be normal, like everybody else. Are you sure that being like everybody else will make you happy?
Lauren Oliver
Life isn't life if you just float through it.
Lauren Oliver
The whole point of growing up is learning to stay on the laughing side.
Lauren Oliver
The old Lena is dead.
